    Default Installed new LED headlights, now Fog lights not working - ideas?

    Hi everyone. Installed new led headlights and now my fog lights are not working. New headlights work and Parking lights work. Still have right side panels and mirror off for oil change. Any ideas. Thanks in advance. 2018 RTL

    I'm not sure if this applies but I'll throw it out there anyhow. My truck had halogen lights and I put LED's in. That messed up my fog lamps both for halogen and LED. I had to buy a resistor that connected to the passenger headlight in order for the fog lights to come on.

    Here's a link in case that's it.

    EDIT: Didn't realize this is on backorder but if you pursue this option, you might be able to find another site that sells the product.

    I've seen this before, on more than one vehicle... Not on a Spyder, sure; but on other vehicles where fitting LED headlight's meant the vehicle's OE halogen &/or normal incandescent lights in other positions wouldn't work without adding a resistor into the headlight circuit... Same could well apply here?! Or not?!?

    Question

    Assuming your 2018 electrical system isn't much different than my 2014, the fog lights circuit is via the Load Shedding relay while the headlight circuit is separate. Do your heated grips work properly or does your ACS work properly (they are also on the LS relay)?

    Try switching the plug. When I installed mine they plugged in backwards. Flipped them and they worked. Just an Idea.
